He did!
Well done Pabs. My lovely Edition 30 has gone and I like you are sampling BMW ownership.
Will soon be back in a Golf I suspect.....dithering whether to buy the old 225 S3 map/play with it or like you get a standard MK5 and do a couple of bits. Never had the 225 S3/TT but having had APR Stage 3 on the MKIV anything around 200bhp seems a bit sluggish especially after my Edition 30.
Wonder if anyone on here has been down the road of 1.8 S3 to MK5 can give some input. I assume a mapped S3 would be close to a mapped MK5?? Wondering what feels best behind the wheel with the weight of Haldex?

I used to own a mapped 225 S3 (Revo, then AMD remaps, about 260bhp).
The Golf engine certainly feels more lively, but overall I think I still prefer the drive in the old S3. I'm thinking of giving my GTI to my fiance and getting myself another S3 (or maybe even a TT) to play with.

Does the haldex drain much power or is it the extra weight bogging it down? Wonder what they all weigh in at ie MK5 v S3 v TT?
I think the 1.8 Cupra R sounds interesting with 260+ and FWD as an option. The 2 litre FSI seems more torquey low down with the extra displacement.
